Love either brightens your life or either ends up spreading darkness in your life. Manik, a playboy, spoilt, irresponsible and an arrogant man gets married to Nandani. The guy who hated mystery, ends up falling for the girl lost in the mystery of he...
"It's always the light that has a dark shadow behind it. Thats the case with Manik. He just can't find his inner peace." Cabir said with so much concern.
"You said he doesn't share about himself, then how do you know all this?" I asked Cabir.
"Well the only way to understand Manik is music. The level of intensity describes his level of pain. But it seems Manik gave that away too!" Cabir said as if revealing a secret. "And listen, you can chill in front of me. Manik told me about your marriage, not everything though!" Cabir winked and went away as everyone called out seeing the sun about to rise and I too followed.
Manik told him everything about us?
"Karaoke, let's play some music!" Cabir suggested. He gave me a look but I didn't understand what he was trying to do. "Let's show Nandani our talent too. After all we met in a music class." He spoke again. Let's see if I can notice what Cabir told me all about!
"Please, I would love to hear you all out." I too joined in with Cabir while Manik gave me a look.
"I have already set up for karaoke outside, lets go guys." Cabir said.
They all refused at first but eventually agreed and here we were outside at night to hear some music. I heard Dhruv is a singer and he has recored few albums already but I am not sure about the others.

"I always go first....this time Manik why don't you go first." Dhruv insisted Manik.
Manik refused when others asked but agreed when Dhruv said to sing along. Best friends of this group I guess. The music played and the lyrics displayed on the screen and Dhruv began.
Meri rooh ka parinda phadphadaye Lekin sukoon ka jazeera mil na paaye Ve ki karaan.. Ve ki karaan.. Dhruv sang while Manik looked nervous.
Ik baar ko tajalli toh dikha de Jhoothi sahi magar tasalli to dila de Ve ki karaan.. Ve ki karaan..
Raanjhan de yaar Bulleya Sunle pukaar Bulleya Tu hi toh yaar Bulleya Murshid mera, Murshid mera Tera mukaam kamle Sarhad ke paar Bulleya Parvardigar Bulleya Haafiz tera, Murshid mera (x2)
Main taan gul se lipti titli ki tarah muhajir hoon Ek pal ko thehroon, pal mein udd jaaun Ve main tan hoon pagdandi labhdi ae jo raah jannat ki Tu mude jahan main saath mud jaaun Tere kaarvan mein shamil hona chahun Kamiya taraash ke main kaabil hona chahun Ve ki karaan.. Ve ki karaan..
Raanjhan de yaar Bulleya Sun le pukaar Bulleya Tu hi toh yaar Bulleya Murshid mera, Murshid mera Tera mukaam kamle Sarhad ke paar Bulleya Parvardigar Bulleya Haafiz tera, Murshid mera (x2) Manik started nervously but his voice was full of emotions, happy or sad I couldn't figure it out but he had the ability to draw anyone towards him with his voice.He is calling out for someone, but who? Cabir was right, the intensity in his music voiced out his emotions. It felt as if he was a completely a different person then the one I had ever known.
Raanjhana ve... Raanjhana ve... Jis din se aashna se do ajnabi huve hain Tanhaiyon ke lamhe sab multavi huve hain Kyun aaj main mohabbat Phir ek baar karna chahun Haan... Ye dil toh dhoondhta hai inkaar ke bahane Lekin ye jism koi pabandiyan na maane Milke tujhe, bagaawat khud se hi yaar karna chahun Aaliya took the other mike and joined Manik. She was good to.
Mujhme agan hai baaki aazma le Le kar rahi hoon khud ko main tere hawale Ve Raanjhna... Ve Raanjhna... The way she looked at Manik was different while singing. Is there something between them?
Raanjhan de yaar Bulleya Sunle pukaar Bulleya Tu hi toh yaar Bulleya Murshid mera, Murshid mera Tera mukaam kamle Sarhad ke paar Bulleya Parvardigar Bulleya Haafiz tera, Murshid mera (x2) Murshid mera, murshid mera... And Manik completed the song while leaving me shocked and satisfied. He deserved a praise but that 'thing' in his eyes returned back as soon as he was done with the song. The arrogance and attitude had comeback.
There was an awkward silence once again but Cabir stood up. "I will go get the snacks from inside." He said and went.
"I will go help." I said and walked behind him for some answers.
"Cabir..." I called out and he looked at me with a smirk.
"I knew you would come behind me." Cabir said and continued unpacking the samosas from the paper bag.
"Is there something between Manik and Aaliya?" I asked and cabir turned to look at me.
"Are you jealous?" He asked folding his hands on his chest.
"No please..." I laughed at his stupid statement. "Just curious" I said and he believed.
"Well...Aaliya likes Manik. I don't know about him." He said and I now understood her behaviour towards me.
"Interesting.." I said finding it a little funny.
"Not really, what's interesting is the fact that Dhruv likes Aaliya. And he knows that Aaliya likes Manik." Cabir said on a serious note.
"Shit...So messed up you guys are." It slipped out of my mouth as I thought out loud.
"Hmm...which is one of the biggest reasons things are 'Awkward' between us all and I think Manik is hiding somethings too. But there is a plan I have, it would work if you help." Cabir said and surprised me further.
"Plan? What plan?" I asked.
"Well we used to be really close friends but things changed at some point. Nothing much was said but we still drifted apart. I think now is the time we need to get back again. For that I need to know what Manik is hiding! He will never let us but maybe he would tell you if you asked!" Cabir said with utter most sincerity.
I though for a while and understood his point. This could possibly be one of the reasons why there is so much awkwardness in this group. Maybe I should help, at least I will have something to do during this trip rather then fighting with Manik. "Okay, what will I have to do?" I asked, agreeing for the help.
"I will tell you tomorrow morning. But you need to keep this a secret. I think Manik has no idea about Dhruv and Aaliya, so make sure it doesn't comes out in open otherwise, things could take an ugly turn. Manik can do anything for Dhruv." He placed this condition and I agreed as it was fair enough.
Cabir's POV 'Sorry Nandani, this plan is not only for us to reunite but also for you and Manik. I know Manik has feelings for you but there is something from your side that is not right. At least because of this plan you will willingly agree to spend sometime with Manik and maybe Dhruv and Aaliya getting close would bring us all close too. I don't know if it's right or wrong but Manik's happiness is my priority. I owe this to him.' I thought to myself as Nandani walked back.
How was the update? Is Manik actually in love or is Cabir just guessing? Will Nandani and Manik come close? Will Dhruv and Aaliya clear the baggage between them?
